After I added the liquid to the dry ingredients, I accidentally over-mixed everything because I had lumps of brown sugar floating around the bottom of the bowl and I really wanted them to be mixed in. I made this cake over the weekend and it was great. Ill also say that I never bother making a glaze. a little bit of b.soda smell & slight taste of b.soda when I tried it (still warmcouldnt wait!) One bowl, 5 minutes and a simple but delicious dessert. Cant wait to try this variation! I broke a big chunk out of mine that way! I dont have light corn syrup in the house; can I make a substitution or do without it? In another bowl, mix the cocoa and hot water and whisk to smooth out Have made this several more times, now as a layer cake. Dont let the unusual addition of olive oil give any hesitation. This turned out to be delicious and so moist! The glaze stays liquid for a while after its combined, so start with one pinch and then taste it once everythings mixed together to see if you need to add more. I sprinkled some Maldon sea salt flakes over the ganache and one would never guess its vegan. My friends loved it, so decadent and I loved being able to say it was vegan! For the glaze, what is the best method to use if you dont have a microwave? aw, boo made it a second time (in 8 which i thought Id done before?) Perfection regardless. This recipe is probably the first chocolate cake Ive loved (that I have made) outright on its own. So make sure your pan is tall! I used Hersheys special dark cocoa powder, which is a mix of both natural and Dutched, for both the cake and the glaze. Swap out frosting recipe for a more traditional version too. Soooo moist, rich, just perfection. Could those things have made it fail? Perhaps but its not about the taste of the vinegar (you wont taste it) but activating the baking soda. Can I substitute balsamic vinegar for the other vinegar? My biggest hope is that Deb adds more vegan cake recipes as good as this one to SK like a vanilla cake or a lemon cake or coconut! I needed cake after a long quarantine day and was amazed at how easy this was to make. My chocolate icing often comes out grainy. I think the reason is my chocolate? When I iced it all the frosting pooled in the middle and made it fall further and then seeped inside! I think the miracle is that you still had cake left four days later, fridge or not, moist or not. Explore. Same problem(s), but at least the smoke detectors didnt go off. I believe its just a straight signing, unfortunately. I make crazy cake a lot (kid with egg allergy) and I couldnt wait to try it with brown sugar. It has now been marked as my absolute favorite fix for delicious chocolateness! 1. It overflowed both pans, had a horrible depression in the center, burned on the top and edges, and never baked in the center. Should I substitute with honey? One question: my cocoa (yes, its T.Joe too) seems to be super light: 3/4 cup is like 35 grams! Will skip the glaze next time. is probably suffice. I think it adds a nice touch. I used half natural and half dutch cocoa, and cut the baking soda back to just over a teaspoon based on the comments. Preheat oven to 350F. We rarely get a chance to see how long the cake stays moist, as most guests want to take some for the road. Attempt number two, using regular cocoa and 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, baked yet again for 40 minutes. This cake is perfect for the very small celebration were having for my husbands bday. Ive made the moosewood version of this (6 minute chocolate cake) more times than I can count, and every variation Ive ever seen calls for vanilla. Perfect for anyone with MS following the OMS program. I also made a ginger glaze consisting of 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp water, and 1 tsp ground ginger. Hi, this looked so delicious and doubly so because no butter and no eggs=awesome! Great, easy & delicious recipe!!!!! After reading the helpful comments, I reduced baking soda to 1 tsp (and also cut the sugar to 100 grams brown and 100 grams white) and it turned out wonderfully. Genius! I thought it relates to the color (clear, not dark), not diet. Thanks! Quite jazzed about this cake, too, but I might have to add a wee bit of cinnamonthat would put it squarely into the Fall category for me! So did my toddler! Im going to try it with avocado oil instead of the olive oil! From the fridge (which you can see in the top photo), it lost its sheen. Smells heavenly but my cake fell in the middle a few minutes after I took it out of the oven? The batter overflowed the pan and at 35 minutes the middle is raw and the outside cooked. I have been making this cake my whole life! Ive been using that gadget way more than my over-scaled oven for little bakes like this. First time with coffee in an 8 pan, which is all that I have. It was my familys go-to cake when I was a kid, the first thing I ever baked, and a staple now since we have vegan family members. I used instant espresso powder+hot water and the chocolate flavor came out really deep and the cake is just all around satisfying. Those with whom Ive shared this cake have gone absolutely bonkers for it. Though I also cant tell what it would be like with less amazing cocoa powder I used Droste, which is the best in my opinion. Will definitely again! I made 1/3 recipe in a 5 pan for the two of us for Valentines Day, which I plan to serve with amarena cherries and whipped cream. Place eggs sugar and salt in a mixer bowl over simmering water, whisking constantly until mixture reaches 110 degrees. In addition, I ended up putting more corn syrup in the glaze. Ok. Do not know what happened here. It was moist and delicious and made for a great breakfast too ;). Ah, now this is interesting and might explain my results also.

I dont presume Manchego to be easily found in Greece. Orange zest is a good idea, though! This cake is delicious! It incorporates too much air and ruins the gluten structure. Will make again and again. I just glazed it with a plain vanilla icing, and it was perfect. Let it rest for hours, and then when I tried to take it out, the bottom around the whole perimeter was completely raw. Going to try it with a little less baking soda next time too, but I definitely see this cake becoming a go-to! Hey Deb, Congrats on BOOK 2!!! Any thoughts??? It begged for vanilla ice cream, but againpandemic. That one has buttermilk and eggs. Im sure that it would have been even better with the glaze, but it is fantastic without. Absolutely delicious! This looks amazing! I weighed my ingredients for accuracy, substituted almond flour, and only used 1 tsp of baking soda (as comments suggested). Hello, From IG? I assume this means I have overcooked it? Thanks for your work, SK is my go to for recipes and inspiration. I got so happy you are making it to Minneapolis I actually teared up a little. Next time.. Do you think it would work as a bundt cake? Thanks! And it also remains moist even after going into the fridge. Cant wait to try it :). Ive never found a satisfactory answer for why that happened! Silly question. It was great! (Ps.I really like SO many recipes on your site!). I followed all the steps and the cake turned out super moist. Skip the icing. My experience as well. I am throwing a bridal shower for my soon-to-be daughter in law. Doubled this recipe to make two 9 cakes with half water half coffee. I am regular reader of your posts and recipes. Lightly grease a 9 square pan. It was so full too, I had great expectations. I let it cool, spread a layer of seedless raspberry jam over it, then frosted with a whipped ganache (next time Im going to put fresh raspberries on it). Cant wait to see you in Vancouver and get my book signed. I used water, not coffee. Maybe we can troubleshoot. Please try again, it is a wonderful cake! It seems that many people have tried using various GF flours with some success. Highly recommend making with coffee as well. My kids love helping make it because they can lick the bowls (no raw eggs). Made this a few days ago while were all stuck inside amid the pandemic here in NYC perfect recipe for right now when eggs and butter arent easy to find. Looks fine, tastes fine, but no alluring drips off the sides. I must ask, though, whats with all the advertising? I will have to keep this in my back paocket for when I dont have eggs on hand. I want to keep that shine, but I also wont have time to make the whole recipe on the same day that Im serving it. Just a word of caution it is SO light and moist and crumbly it is VERY DELICATE coming out of the pan. I have made this cake at least 10 times. :). WebDirections Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Grease your springform pan with a little oil and line the base with parchment paper. Very good, but less cake-like than when weve made it before using cup measure weights. I used the weight measurements, as I always do but was wondering if you did and was wondering if they were off a bit? Deb this cake is wonderful. It came out a little too stodgy for me. Also, the Tuesday cake thing reminded me of Catherine Newmans blog about Yay Its Wednesday Cake cake! *even with the GF flour, this slices beautifully & I found that it was perfect with a smear of jam between the layerswill add a bit of whipped cream on the side next time, too!! In my fan oven the cake needed 40-45 mins at 160C which produced a very soft-crumbed cake with a lovely crisp but not burnt top. Eat everywhere you can and then come tell us about it! What type of olive oil did you use? They were delicious. I used coffee and added a generous dose of cardamom, which really compliments the bitterness of the coffee and chocolate nicely.

I made this last night (and also got the depression in the center, but I definitely overfilled my cake pan) and brought it into work this morning. I made this cake e a few weeks ago and loved it! That actually sounds like it just might work .. rosemary olive oil. I got the sinking in the middlewish I had used less baking soda as later suggested. What a fabulous combination. Dare I say it??) Let cool and I added where the water (or coffee) gets added. shrekzombie@aol.com. Follow up: I used half orange olive oil, half regular olive oil. The cake was a success rather similar to Margaret Foxs Amazon Chocolate Cake. Otherwise was very tasty!!! Speaking of accidentally vegan, Im thinking of making this for a vegan coworker but dont have a reliable cake pan. Ive made this cake many times for family- Ive got vegan and GF cousins and with the bobs red mill 1:1 this satisfies everyones needs. I think it should work! Still, it was worth it! More for meeeee! If Im baking an everyday cake, you can bet it will be this one. Because these were just for me, I didnt mind eating out of the pan with a spoon, but I couldnt get any out cleanly. It is Mouth Watering and so Chocolaty. No meat? WebPreheat your oven to 350F. The batter came almost up to the brim. Im at 6900 ft. A huge disappointment. In a couple of weeks it will be the new base of my chocolate-bacon birthday cake with brigadeiro filling. This looks delicious, This is an awesome cake: huge flavor-to-effort ratio! Thanks, Deb, for this absolutely scrummy cake recipe. Im going to try making it with gluten free flour and will try to remember to post if it turns out well. MY FLATMATE JUST MADE THIS AND IT IS GLORIOUS! But it does have eggs (not that youd oppose :). I made these as cupcakes for co-workers and they loved them. Thank you, Thanks, Deb. Its moist, and dense, but better than I imagined a vegan cake would be. Coming back here to say that the baking soda definitely needs to be reduced. Toss the cranberries with the 1 tablespoon of flour and set aside. (It dipped a wee bit in the middle, but no big deal.) Ok, now Ill have to try both cake and cupcakes. UPDATE made the cake again today using less baking soda (about 1 tsp / 5g ) perfect! Let me just say, this is all pantry staples and I served this up for Sunday dinner, and it was truly delightful. Ive tried and if I come away even mildly unhappy with the results the day feels ruined. Maybe the amount of flour? Is it a 1for 1 substitution? Cheated and deflated. It seemed to seize up no matter how much stirring I did. Need. First time Ive actually had a flat cake! Thanks for the delicious recipe! I made this today. This cake is similar to my go to 6 minute chocolate cake that I got out of the Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home. Glad it worked for you. (Its also very low for a website these days, but I dont budge on it.) I was able to cover it up nicely with the chocolate frosting, though, you can barely tell. Thank you for evolving your content, and always sharing so many I tried this, dont do this, do it any way you like, youre wonderful to learn from. Can I freeze them? It was a great-looking cake, but it wasnt sweet enough and the crumb fell apart. Thanks for sharing a delicious recipe. I cut the baking soda to 1 teaspoon, baked in a square 88 pan. I made it very last minute before having my boyfriends new colleagues over for dinner and it was a huge hit. Hi. (I also took another posters advice and added minced crystallized ginger YUM). We have been making this for years. Next time, I may add a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze I felt it needed a bit of something extra, although Im not sure what. Im making your brown butter coconut cookies foe my cousin at her request ( people are nuts about those cookies) now I need a excuse to make this! Temp registered about 200-205F in the middle. Thanks, Deb! Long time reader, first time poster. Instead of frosting, we usually do a cinnamon-sugar combo sprinkled all over the top. Thank you and I totally disagree that Blue Apron isnt for people who cant cook! Come to Melbourne! So many happy congratulations on publishing your second book. WebMethod Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3. The chocolate glaze was the best part of the cake. Also, even after 10 minutes of cooling time, I had trouble removing the parchment paper because it wanted to rip off a thin layer of cake! I delivered to my husbands office still warm. I also buttered the pan really well and it came out easily. Sometimes we made chocolate buttercream icing and sometimes green-tinted mint and chocolate chip icing. Wouldnt be able to tell its vegan just the right amount of sweet and chocolatey, and so moist! I know I can trust your recipes to be great, even though vegan baking can sometimes be sub-par. Can now report that the cake is absolutely delicious, and is my new go-to for delightfully dark, borderline savoury chocolate cake! Grease a 22 or 23 cm/ 9inch springform tin with a little oil and line the base with baking parchment. I saw this recipe yesterday afternoon and just *had* to make it immediately. argh. After reading the comments, I omitted the corn syrup and it worked perfectly. Wow, Deb, the flavor of this is great, but I had SO much trouble with the recipe. not the best presentation. Cant wait to try out yours. It stayed moist and flavorful for several days. 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter After reading many of the comments from people who tried this cake, I made it today (with my kids) for my sons 5th birthday. I didnt find the olive oil flavor to be prominent in the glaze at all, but wouldnt really have minded if it was. I followed the recipe exactly (used coffee) and the cake texture was perfectly moist, but unfortunately the taste was so bad I have to throw it away. So many happy memories of eating this cake! Thanks in advance! Even though I made this on the weekend, I feel like this is the perfect weeknight cake. I love having a vegan option. It is moist, chocolatey, and very easy. Its elegant and holds up well too! Next time Ill know better! These are AMAZING! 2nd go I wanted more of the cake but had run out of olive oil. It was super easy to pull together. After reading through the comments, I also saw some people had problems with a depression forming, so per Debs advice I cut the baking soda to 1 tsp instead of 1 1/2 and had no problems. Absolutely. Will frost it tomorrow with a butter cream icing and serve it for my daughters 40th birthday. This was a bust, at 30 minutes the cake exploded over the pan onto the rack and base of the stove. :-). ONE NOTE fresh out of the oven, its not great. Next time, I would add more liquid. I love this site and have never had a dud, but this cake did not work for me. Thanks for a great recipe. Waste of time, waste of ingredients, waste of money. I used white wine vinegar, I wonder if that matters? The second one turned out perfectly at 35 with no opening of the oven (except rotating the cake about halfway through baking). I absolutely loved the cake though will make again.
